There are lots of bright and beautiful colors throughout our new spring/summer issue online here. Tanarah Luxe Floral is one of the amazing floral designers that we worked with on this issue. Here is the bouquet that she created for our photo shoot. Plus, a bonus bouquet you haven’t seen yet!

We had so much fun creating our backdrop for our new spring/summer Weddings in Arkansas issue fashion shoot (which will hit newsstands at the beginning of May)!! The fabulous Nancy Nolan let us into her studio the day before the shoot to set up. Here was our color palette:

Seems like a lot of colors, but they all went together so beautifully!! We love how the soft pastels mix with a pop of hot pink and orange for a fun, fresh shoot. And, here’s a look at how we put our fun streamer backdrop together. It took a few hours, but it was worth it!

Our art director, Mandy Keener, had to keep us entertained! We were trying to make her face the cake topper 🙂

Gorgeous dresses waiting to be steamed and photographed!

Meet Pearl. We love Pearl. Here, she and Mandy added some extra streamers and confetti before we photographed our wedding cakes. Sorry, we had to crop the picture…we can’t show you all our shots before the issue is out!! 🙂

This week, we are busy choosing fashion, cake & floral images, creating layouts, and finalizing layouts, etc. for the new issue. We can’t wait to share it with you! Stay tuned!
